Crockett Real Estate

Crockett, CA (formerly, Crockettville) is located next to the Carquinez Straits, off Highway 80. A quaint town, with old fashioned appeal, it is best known for being the corporate headquarters of C&H Sugar Company. The Carquinez Bridge connects Crockett with the city of Vallejo to the north across the strait. To the east of Crockett along the strait are Port Costa and the city of Martinez. South of Crockett are the town of Rodeo and the city of Hercules. Named after Joseph B. Crockett, a judge on the California Supreme Court, the town was established when Thomas Edwards Sr. bought the land from Judge Crockett in 1867. At that point, Edwards built his home and created a company town for the C&H Sugar Company. Surrounded by rolling hills and park lands, Crockett maintains a small town country feel, (population 3200) here in the urban San Francisco Bay Area.
